Thanks Paula.


I like this one (there is a big choice)

Pick your best.

Thanks for the clip. That idea is actually what inspired me to create this thread.

And here's a neat clip about hugs, which says that adults don't get enough:

Who did you say you were again? You are moving apts. That is a cause for celebration!

Going to check out Ragtime's link now...I don't think we do get enough cuddles, generally, especially when we're feeling a bit blue.

i could use one....i seem to have lost my virtual-hug-buddy....
looks like i came to the right place, though.

(Gives sodarktheshadows a big {hug}.)

Yeah, I could do with one.

(((all)))

I at least need a hug....I had a meltdown this afternoon.

But - guess what! Ok, guess! No, guess again.



In the mail today I received my weighted blanket which I had ordered. The blanket, which was specially made, feels very comforting. I ordered a blanket weighing a full 17 lbs, which is technically much too heavy than indicated for my size, but I know by experience what I like. My blanket is like a hug and reduces my sensory modality, etc.

Incidentally, do you all know of weighted blankets for autism (and related conditions)? Certain medical insurance plans will (partly at least) cover the cost since it's considered palliative treatment. My blanket is really pretty too; the place than designs them (for autistics) does speciality custom orders nearly exclusively. If you read Temple Grandin's "Thinking in Pictures," she writes about her 'hug machine' designed to alleviate her symptoms; hence the weighted blanket.

I sure could use one....

I ordered online through www.weightedblanket.net

The company is named 'Dream Catcher Blankets,' located in Corvallis, MT. They did a great job, everything is made to your specifications. They shipped to Alaska too. A portion of the purchase price is donated by Dream Cather's to Autism Family Resources. The founder has an autistic son too.

I could use a hug. It'll be midnight here on the west coast in a few minutes and I'll turn 20 years old. For some reason this is making me sad.

I really do need another one today.

I should ready follow the trick an give one to everyone that need one.

don't be sad today.

That's a lovely flower Javier. Happy birthday Eire! Here's a bear hug for everyone who needs one today.

We have chair huggers at work...but man they are expensive, I'm considering making some myself. They work wonders. I was at a special ed school, and a young man carried a lap hugger.

*hug for Javier and Starr* and everyone else on this thread!
